Chapter 232 I’m Also Scared
"Hehe..." Wang Yongzhu only replied with two words.
It was only now that she regretted her actions. When she had harmed herself earlier, she hadn’t shown any mercy.
"Why would you do that?" Wang Yongzhu felt puzzled. Since Xiao Tiantian and she coexisted, if she were to die, wouldn’t it mean the end for it too? What kind of absurd move was this?
The Xiao Tiantian System wept bitterly in her mind, "In this system upgrade assessment, I was the one with the worst performance among all the systems, the host task completion rate was the lowest! Especially the love task line, which is the easiest way to get points. Aside from the host, other systems’ hosts have the highest completion rates for this, and their assessment grades are better. I... I was just too anxious, and so... But I had calculated that with the host’s current combat ability, you could totally take out that pack of wolves, there would be no danger to your life, that’s why I..."
Wang Yongzhu indicated that she understood. Jealousy had caused Xiao Tiantian to act recklessly.
But this was no excuse for disregarding her own life! Wang Yongzhu insisted that this precedence could not be set; otherwise, what if Xiao Tiantian took matters into its own hands again in the future?
Left with no choice, the Xiao Tiantian System desperately begged for mercy, offering compensation and swearing by all it held sacred, finally convincing Wang Yongzhu to reluctantly agree not to return it, to observe it for a period, and to consider subsequent actions based on its behavior.
Wang Yongzhu wasn’t entirely satisfied with the outcome, but she also knew that she had to tread carefully with the Xiao Tiantian System until she fully understood it. She couldn’t push it too hard because if it were cornered and acted out of desperation, she wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences.
Thus, the Xiao Tiantian System didn’t dare to hide any more secret actions from her, and the relationship between her and the System subtly shifted—turning upside down. At least it was some recompense for the shock she had endured.
Xiao Tiantian had acted without permission in its eagerness to succeed, resulting in little progress for the task, and the relationship between the host and the System shifted from equality to dependency. Truly a loss, it clutched its wounded core chip and whimpered its way to a corner to cry.
When it was just past noon, outside the Wang Family Courtyard, quite a few people were sneaking peeks through the cracks in the door.
